ASHRAE Public Session Presents Guidance on Building Safety
In light of the Sept. 11, attacks, the hvac industry and the
general public was inundated with information on how to protect buildings
from bioterrorism.
Unfortunately, some of this information was incorrect or
misleading,
according to William Coad, P.E., president of ASHRAE.
Taking specific actions, such as sealing off outdoor air intakes,
without seeking professional advice can cause serious problems and exposure
to liability, Coad said.
To clear up misconceptions and misinformation, ASHRAE will offer
professional guidance on maintaining safe, healthy and comfortable indoor
environments at the public session held at the 2002 Winter Meeting in
Atlantic City, NJ.
